Taylor Swift pulls ‘Shake It Off’ from streaming service Spotify

More than 700,000 people bought 1989 in the first two days it went on sale last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That already exceeds the year’s biggest one-week seller, Coldplay’s Ghost Stories, which sold 383,000 in May. Nielsen music analyst David Bakula said Swift, who announced Monday that she would launch a world tour next year, is on pace to challenge the 1.2 million copies she sold the first week her last album, Red, went on sale.
